Notes

1. Birth risks and outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native women in IdahoData from Improving Data & Enhancing Access – Northwest (IDEA-NW) Project(Northwest Tribal EpiCenter) and ID Bureau of Vital Records & Health Statistics Notes The data presented come from linked birth certificates from years 2006-2010. Race information on birth certificates may not be correctly recorded if the mother or father isn’t asked directly. The IDEA-NW Project compared parents’ information on state birth certificates to the Northwest Tribal Registry to more completely represent Native mothers and infants. This results in more complete and accurate data for Northwest AI/AN.
